Codex Vaticanus Urbin. 64

This 15th century Italian copy of the works of Tertullian has been shown by Kroymann
1 to derive from earlier extant
manuscripts. As such, its independent witness to the text is nil,
since all it can offer is further copyist errors.

DETAILS

35.5 x 24cms, parchment. 15th century. A luxury
copy, written in a single hand. The subscriptio tells us
it was made in Italy, and also says

Jacobus Middelburch scripsit

At the end of the Apologeticum are the words Finis Opera Tertulliani.
Kroymann's analysis shows it to be a member of the beta (Cluny-Hirsau) branch of
the Corpus Cluniacense,
which only contains 27 treatises, and not the Apologeticum. So the Apologeticum
arrived from elsewhere.
